Whereabouts Unknown/Script (Eliwood)

From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.

Introduction

Eliwood and colleagues defeat Bauker, one of Marquess Laus's lackeys. They then press on toward Castle Caelin. Yet inside the castle many Laus soldiers remain. Eliwood and friends begin their assault on the castle to save Marquess Caelin.

Opening

(Eliwood and company enter Castle Caelin)

Eliwood: There are still quite a few Laus soldiers in the castle.
Hector: Where are the Caelin guards?
Lyn: I think about half of them were killed in the surprise attack. The survivors must be here somewhere...
Eliwood: They might be locked away as prisoners..[sic] We'd better rescue them quickly. If Marquess Laus decides to hold them hostage, it will make seizing the throne much more difficult.
Hector: It's settled! Let's find the guards and retake the castle!
Lyn: Hold on, Grandfather... We'll be there shortly.
Eliwood: Seize the throne! It's time to reclaim the castle!

If Chapter 13x was not played

Merlinus (off-screen): Um, hellooooo!
Eliwood: Hm?
(Merlinus moves on screen)
Merlinus: Are you from Castle Caelin?
Lyn: I am. May I ask your business in the castle?
Merlinus: I am Merlinus. I am a traveling merchant with goods beyond compare. If you would be so kind to hire me, I...
Lyn: My apologies. Now is not the time.
Merlinus: Please, my lady... I've dreamt of working for a noble house for so long. By all means, please call on my services!
Hector: Old man! Are you truly a merchant?
Merlinus: Old... Old man?
Eliwood: You're being rude, Hector!
Hector: Right, right. Old...gentleman. Is it true you aspire to work for a noble house?
Merlinus: Yes, my boy. Yes, I do.
Hector: In that case, we'd like to hire you.
Merlinus: Really?
Eliwood: Hector?
Hector: This journey could last a while, and we've acquired many items. It would be quite convenient if we had someone to manage our things.
Merlinus: Leave it to me! Managing...things is my specialty!
Eliwood: Our journey is dangerous, and has no end in sight. Is that acceptable?
Merlinus: Did you say da-dangerous?
Hector: I'm brother to Marquess Ostia. He's Marquess Pherae's son. You can come with us if you so desire.
Merlinus: Oh? Ostia and Pherae? Nobility beyond compare! I'm coming! Most definitely!

Preparations

If Chapter 13x was not played

Merlinus: Lord Eliwood! Lord Hector! I make my living as a humble merchant. If you have any items you no longer need, please let poor Merlinus take them.

Augury

Hannah: Heh heh heh... So, you seek insight into your next battle? Will you pay my price? 50 gold!

Hannah: Sky riders beware... This battle is not for you. You will need a thief. There will be a meeting... Take the polite girl... The flame-haired beauty. And again, take your rapier and hammer.

Hannah: That...is all I see. But maybe you want to hear it again, yes?

Before the battle begins, if Chapter 13x was not played

Merlinus: Lord Eliwood! Shall I join you? If you deploy my tent, I can help with equipment. I can switch items for you and hold them if your packs are full. However, my tent cannot be moved about, so if you deploy it, it will require a guard. I beg your understanding.

Merlinus's merchant tent can be deployed on this map. If you deploy the tent, any items you cannot carry can be sent to the tent. However, the tent is vulnerable to enemy attack. If the tent loses all its HP, it will vanish from the map and remain unavailable until the next map. Merlinus's tent gains one level for every battle it survives. The tent will be harder to destroy as it increases in level.

In battle

Player phase of turn 1, if Mark is present

Eliwood: Mark. The captured Caelin soldiers are most likely exhausted. I'd like to protect them and keep them from having to fight. I realize that makes it difficult for you to plan a strategy, but... I will do my best to take up their share of the fighting. Now, please tell us what we should do, Mark.

Enemy phase of turn 1

Raven: Hey, you. Let me out of here.
Soldier: What?
Raven: Marquess Ostia's brother is among your enemy, right? Let me out, and I'll help you. But I must have the brother. I've a score to settle with house Ostia.
Soldier: Do you think me a fool? You work for house Caelin! I cannot trust your word!
Raven: Then I'll have to break down this door and go through you. You were using Lucius as a hostage, but now he's here with me...
Soldier: Uh...
Lucius: No, Lord Raven! You mustn't! You cannot betray your debt to Marquess Caelin.
Raven: Shut up, Lucius. You think me foolish, but you don't understand... How about it?
Soldier: Very well. You! Get out! Remember, if you betray us, your companion dies.
Raven: I see. Just remember, if that happens, you die next.
Soldier: Urr...
Lucius: Wait! You can't go alone! It's too dangerous!
Raven: Lucius, stay here and be quiet. I'll be back for you.
(Raven leaves)
Lucius: Lord Raven!

(The Soldier opens the cell door, Raven leaves, and he closes the door; Raven moves west as the Soldier leaves east)

Player phase of turn 7

Soldier: What in blazes!? It's getting even noisier than before.
Lucius: Isn't that the sound of combat?
Soldier: It must be Lady Lyndis! She's found reinforcements! It's time...
Lucius: Hm? What... What are you doing?
Soldier: I thought aid might come, so I hid keys and weapons here.
Lucius: Oh, I see.
Soldier: What are you going to do?
Lucius: Uh...
Soldier: Your master... He's betrayed us. Lucius, I must ask. What will you do?
Lucius: I... I want to stop Lord Raven. However... In his current state, I...doubt he will lend me his ear. And so...I will...wait. I will wait for Lord Raven here. I'm sorry... I cannot fight. ...Please understand.
Soldier: I do. Here, these are for you.
Lucius: For me? Vulnerary and a book of light magic?
Soldier: You don't have to fight, just protect yourself. I've known you only a short time, but you're a friend. I don't want to see you die.
Lucius: Thank you... Thank you.
Soldier: All right, lads! Open that door!! On our honor as Caelin knights, we will save the marquess!

Let me give you a brief explanation of magic. Magic can be divided into three large groups. Anima magic is based on nature. Its attacks include Fire and Thunder. The basic attack of Light is Lightning, while Dark magic uses a spell called Flux. Each type of magic has an affinity for other types of magic, similar to the weapons triangle. Light is strong vs. dark, dark is strong vs. anima, and anima is strong vs. light. This is the Trinity of Magic. So, a monk's light magic is strong against a shaman's dark magic. Remember which class has an advantage over which other class.

Upon opening the door to the Caelin Soldiers' cell

Opening with a unit other than Lyn, Florina, Wil, Kent, or Sain

Soldier: Huh? What are you... Aha! Lady Lyndis has returned, hasn't she? What are we waiting for? Let's join her! No need to worry about weapons. We hoped we'd be rescued, so we hid some away.

Opening with Lyn

Lyn: Is everyone all right?
Soldier: Lady Lyndis! You're safe!
Lyn: My grandfather?
Soldier: He was fine when we were put in these cells... Much time has passed since then, though, so we must hurry!

Soldier: We've got weapons. We hoped we'd be rescued, so we hid some away.
Lyn: Very well then, let's go.
Soldier: Yes, my lady!

Opening with Florina

Florina: Everyone... Are you well?
Soldier: Oh! Florina! You're alive!
Florina: Yes, um... I'm with Lady Lyndis. Um, is... Where... Where is Lord Hausen?
Soldier: He was safe when we were locked up, but... Much time has passed since then, though, so we must hurry!
Florina: OK...but first, you...you need weapons.
Soldier: We've got weapons. We hoped we'd be rescued, so we hid some away.
Florina: Oh... Then...let us engage...
Soldier: Don't worry, we'll take care of everything.

Opening with Wil

Wil: Is everyone well?
Soldier: Wil! Glad to see you're well!
Wil: I'm with Lady Lyndis. Where is Lord Hausen?
Soldier: He was safe when we were locked up, but... Much time has passed since then, though, so we must hurry!
Wil: First, we have to find weapons for all of you.
Soldier: We've got weapons. We hoped we'd be rescued, so we hid some away.
Wil: You Caelin knights are amazing! Let's crush these louts!
Soldier: Leave everything to us!

Opening with Kent

Kent: Is everyone well?
Soldier: Commander Kent! You're safe!
Kent: Lady Lyndis is with me as well. Lord Hausen?

Kent: First, we must get you all equipped with weapons.
Soldier: We've got weapons. We hoped we'd be rescued, so we hid some away.
Kent: Well done! You're true Caelin knights, every one of you! Now let's drive these louts from Castle Caelin!

Sain: Rejoice, one and all! Your kindly subcommander is here to rescue you!
Soldier: Subcommander! You're unharmed!
Sain: The lovely lady Lyndis is with me as well. What of Lord Hausen?

Sain: First, we must get you all equipped with weapons.
Soldier: We've got weapons. We hoped we'd be rescued, so we hid some away.
Sain: Well done! You're true Caelin knights, every one of you! Now show me true bravery, and rout these villains!
Sain: Yes, sir!

Regardless of who opens the door

Soldier: What are you going to do?
Lucius: Uh...
Soldier: Your master... He's betrayed us. Lucius, I must ask. What will you do?
Lucius: I... I want to stop Lord Raven. However... In his current state, I...doubt he will lend me his ear. And so...I will...wait. I will wait for Lord Raven here. I'm sorry... I cannot fight. ...Please understand.
Soldier: I do. Here, these are for you.

Ending

Lyn: Grandfather! Grandfather! Where...
Eliwood: Lord Hausen? Where are you?
Hector: Eliwood. Here, on the throne... It's blood.
Lyn: Blood? No! It can't be!!
Eliwood: Lyndis! Calm down. He might only be injured. Come, let us find him.
Lyn: Yes, you're right. I must be calm. There! Over there! There's someone...
Eliwood: Who's there? Show yourself!
Leila: ......
Hector: You... Leila!
Leila: Yes, it's me, Lord Hector. It's been a long time.
Eliwood: You know her?
Hector: Yes, her name's Leila. She...works for Ostia... All right, she's a spy.
Leila: Lord Eliwood of Pherae and Lady Lyndis of Caelin, correct? I am Leila. Pleased to make your acquaintance. Lady Lyndis, Marquess Caelin is back there receiving treatment.
Lyn: My grandfather is safe?!
Leila: ...His life is yet his own.
Lyn: Ah! Father Sky and Mother Earth! I thank you for your mercy!!
Hector: Leila, what are you doing here?
Leila: I... I'm following Lord Uther's orders. I'm investigating Marquess Pherae's disappearance.
Eliwood: My father? What have you learned?
Leila: Come with me. We should talk in private.
(Leila, Hector, and Lyn leave)
Eliwood: ......
(Hector returns)
Hector: Huh? Come on, Eliwood.
Eliwood: Ah...
Hector: Worrying about things won't change them.
Eliwood: I know. I'm fine. Let's go!

Leila: Let me start with my conclusion.
Eliwood: ......
Leila: Marquess Pherae...is alive.
Hector: Whooooo! Eliwood!
Lyn: That's wonderful!
Eliwood: Are you sure?
Leila: I've been posing as a member of the Black Fang for several months. That's where I got this information. I believe it is true.
Eliwood: Black Fang... They're the assassins guild that Erik spoke of.
Leila: Yes, we've known of their existence for quite some time.
Hector: Explain.
Leila: The Black Fang is a guild of assassins founded about ten years ago by Brendan Reed. They're based in Bern. Their arms reached quickly in several other countries. Originally, they targeted only nobles who abused their positions. The masses saw them as chivalrous, defenders of the common man. Their activities found wide support.
Hector: Chivalrous...
Leila: Then about a year ago, Brendan got married again. Black Fang's operations have slowly changed since then. Now, they'll take on any target, no matter how difficult, as long as they're paid. And they're no longer killing only criminals; anyone is a fair target.
Lyn: Is this Black Fang responsible for what's happened to my grandfather?
Leila: Yes. We've learned of a mystery man named Nergal, behind Reed's wife. It seems the Black Fang is performing secret tasks across Lycia for Nergal. Nergal's trusted retainer Ephidel is with Marquess Laus. He manipulated Laus into hatching the rebellion plot against Ostia. The first to answer Laus's call for rebellion was...Marquess Santaruz.
Eliwood: Lord Helman... Why would you...
Hector: ......
Leila: Next was Lord Elbert, Marquess Pherae.
Eliwood: You're telling me that my father endorsed this plan?
Leila: I cannot say. I do know that he is with Marquess Laus currently. In a place called...the Dragon's Gate.
Eliwood: Dragon's Gate? Where is that?
Leila: On an isle called Valor, off the southern coast of Lycia. I apologize, but that is all the information I have.
Hector: Of all places to be, Valor... Blast!
Lyn: What kind of place is it?
Eliwood: It's said that those who step onto the island never return. The common folk call it the Dread Isle. If that's where my father is, however, I will go and find him. And this "Dragon's Gate," too!
Hector: I'm going with you. I'll tell you right now, you can't stop me.
Lyn: I'm also going.
Eliwood: Lyndis, I appreciate your kindness, but... Shouldn't you stay with Marquess Caelin?
Lyn: Laus must be stopped. Otherwise, they might target my grandfather again. I also wish to help Eliwood's father. Losing a parent... It's an unbearable pain. It's something I'd rather you didn't have to feel yet.
Eliwood: Lyndis... Hector... Thank you. You give me strength.
Hector: Don't mention it.
Lyn: We're friends. It's what friends do, Eliwood.
Leila: I'm also going to continue searching. Lady Lyndis, I think it would be prudent to let the world think Marquess Caelin is dead.
Lyn: I understand. I'll do that. Thank you.
Leila: No thanks necessary. If you'll excuse me.
Hector: Leila!
Leila: Yes?
Hector: Nergal and this...Ephidel? What are they like?
Leila: I've yet to lay eyes on Nergal. I've spoken to Ephidel on several occasions, however. He's...eerie. He always wears a cloak that covers his face. And yet...
Hector: What is it?
Leila: His eyes glow golden... You can't miss them. They seem...inhuman.
Eliwood: ......

If Matthew is alive

Matthew: Is that you, Leila?
Leila: Matthew. It's been a long time.
Matthew: What have you been doing? More dangerous work?
Leila: We're spies, Matthew. Everything we do is dangerous.
Matthew: That's true. So how long do you think this mission's going to last?
Leila: My objective is the same as yours: to rescue Marquess Pherae. If things go well, I'll be in Ostia at the same time as you are.
Matthew: Is that so? You need to visit my hometown.
Leila: Is this where you were born? Why?
Matthew: ...To meet my parents.
Leila: Hm? Matthew...
Matthew: Ha ha. Well, that's that! See you.
(Matthew leaves)
Leila: As slippery as ever... Didn't even wait for my reply.

If three Caelin Soldiers survived

Soldier: Lady Lyndis!
Lyn: Everyone... I'm happy to see you all well. I'm going after Marquess Laus. Protect my grandfather.
Soldier: One moment, Lady Lyndis. Please take this jewel before you leave.

Lyn: I will. Thank you.

Talk conversations

Priscilla and Raven

Raven: You...
Priscilla: Hm?
Raven: Can it be?
Priscilla: I...
Raven: You don't...recognize me. That's not surprising. You were so young when we were separated.
Priscilla: What? Are you... Raymond? My brother, Raymond?
Raven: You've grown, Priscilla...
Priscilla: Brother! My brother!!
Raven: What are you doing here? It's been ten years since Count Caerleon of Etruria took you in as his foster daughter...
Priscilla: That's right. My adopted father has treated me with much kindness. But I am of Caelin's[sic] House Cornwell by birth. I still remember Father and Mother. I've never forgotten them. Or you, Raymond.
Raven: ...Priscilla.
Priscilla: ......When I heard that House Cornwell was lost... I... I was so worried about you.
Raven: So that's why you left Etruria? You've come quite a way.
Priscilla: Dear friends of mine in Etruria helped me. They provided a young mage to be my escort. Then we passed through Laus... The marquess learned of my lineage and refused to let me leave. I would be there still if not for Lord Eliwood and his companions.
Raven: His...companions?
Priscilla: Lord Hector, Lady Lyndis... They're all such kind people. I'm so glad I came to Lycia. And now I've found you...
Raven: You've become friends with...him?
Priscilla: Raymond?
Raven: ...... I see. Then I will join you.
Priscilla: Dear Brother! Will you truly come with us?
Raven: I could not refuse my little sister. And besides...
Priscilla: What is it?
Raven: It's nothing. You're better off not knowing. Tell me, your lineage... Do Eliwood and his friends know of your heredity?
Priscilla: No, we've never spoken of it.
Raven: I see... That is best.
Priscilla: Brother?
Raven: Priscilla, we must keep our relationship secret. OK?
Priscilla: All right... If you say we must...
Raven: Another thing, my name is Raven now. Raymond is...a name I've discarded.
Priscilla: Brother... You have your reasons, don't you? I understand. As long as we can travel together, I'm happy.
Raven: ......
Priscilla: If we continue on, we'll be able to see Father and Mother, too!
Raven: ...Priscilla... That's......

Raven and Lucius

Raven: Lucius.
Lucius: Lord Raven! I'm so pleased to see you well!
Raven: Things have changed. For the time being, we side with Caelin.
Lucius: That is good... So you've had a change of heart?
Raven: No, I will still have my revenge against House Ostia. The closer you are to your enemy, the easier it is to strike, right?
Lucius: Lo-Lord Raven...
Raven: Let's go, Lucius.
Lucius: Yes...

Lyn and Lucius

If Lucius is not recruited

Lucius: Lyn! Are you well?
Lyn: Lucius?! Why are you here?
Lucius: Actually, I've been here for a few days as a mercenary.
Lyn: I didn't know. Why didn't you send word?
Lucius: Well...I'm... I'm traveling with someone, and... More importantly, I apologize for not being able to protect Castle Caelin. My lack of...strength...is truly shameful.
Lyn: It's no one's fault. The attack came so quickly. I was forced to flee myself. Now I simply want to rescue my grandfather as soon as possible. That is all I wish...
Lucius: May...I offer...my assistance?
Lyn: It's not necessary.
Lucius: Pardon?
Lyn: Your hands are shaking terribly. I thank you for your offer, but you cannot fight in this condition.
Lucius: I... I'm sorry.
Lyn: It's all right. I do ask that you help me when you're able.
Lucius: Yes... Of course.
